[PAULUS libro secundo ad Plautium. ] §46.3.59.prSi ita stipulatus sim: 'mihi aut Titio dare spondes?' et debitor constituerit se mihi soluturum, quamuis mihi competat de constituta actio, potest adhuc adiecto soluere.
[PAULUS, in his second book on Plautius.] If I have stipulated thus: 'Do you promise to give to me or to Titius?' and the debtor has promised to pay me, although an action on the constituent promise lies for me, he can still pay the added person.
et si a filio familias mihi aut Titio stipulatus sim, patrem posse Titio soluere quod in peculio est, scilicet si suo, non filii nomine soluere uelit: dum enim adiecto soluitur, mihi solui uidetur: et ideo si indebitum adiecto solutum est, stipulatori posse condici Iulianus putat: ut nihil intersit, iubeam te Titio soluere an ab initio stipulatio ita concepta sit.
And if I have stipulated from a son in power for myself or Titius, the father can pay to Titius what is in the peculium, provided, of course, that he wishes to pay in his own name, not in the name of the son; for when payment is made to the added person, it is deemed to be paid to me. And therefore, if an undue payment has been made to the added person, Julian thinks that a recovery can be brought against the stipulator, so that it makes no difference whether I order you to pay Titius or whether the stipulation was so formulated from the beginning.
